[pianotech] Ashtrays included!

[Gregor _]

That´s fun! Once I saw an Ibach grand with an ashtray on the left side of the keyboard. It was obviously original, not just an ashtray on but "in" the surface. Furthermore, the grand was not high gloss black but black satined, very unusual here in Germany. It was a piano that was regularly lent out for concerts and that´s where I saw it: in a smokey jazz club.

    I tune a 1937 Berry upright today. They were a
      good English make. I was intrigued to find that it had a built-in
      "practice" muffler rail, operated not by a third pedal, but by a
      little lever built in to the nameboard.  Also, delightfully, the
      owner showed me the two little built-in ashtrays which swivel out
      at each end, under the keybed. Wonderful!

      

      Best regards,
